Pot and plant size guide

When you are shopping on line it can be hard to know what size the plants are and what you are getting.
This size guide is to help you know what you are getting.

Starter/Plug Plants
Starter plants (often known as plug plants) are cost effective way of buying plants.
All of our plants are grwon in a 4.5cm by 5cm plug.
This is bigger than most nurseries but we prefer to have a more established plant.
The plants are well rooted and ready to be planted up either into a pot or (if the time of year is right)
straight into the garden.

6cm Potted Plants
This is the perfect size for chilli and pepper plants in the early part of the year. In the early months of their life chillies can be a bit delicate.
That is why we prefer to send them to you in a small pot. It reduces stress on the plant and helps keep the roots
both protected and a little warmer.

9cm Potted Plants
9cm pots are the one of the most cost effective ways of buying plants. All of our 9cm plants have been growing for a long enough period of time to make sure you get a well rooted established plant. This size is perfect for planting out (when the weather permits) and means you get a established garden quicker.

1 litre Jumbo Potted Plants
These are big pots. Around 13cm in diameter and around the same depth. This takes a lot of the growing time away from you giving you are far bigger plant. This pot size is often ready from mid to late April onwards.

Plant Description

An ornamental Chilli that’ll rival any bedding plant. This very pretty Chilli has small upright fruit that are thin with a slightly bulbous centre. Starting off light green and eventually ripening to red. The fruit will slowly ripen over a matter of days with different shades including yellow, purple and even two tone. Although this is mainly used ornamentally it is just as edible as any other Chilli. It may not have quite as much flavour but if you can only grow one plant this is a good choice as it looks amazing as well as being edible. Heat wise this Chilli is medium to hot around the same heat as a Jalapeno.
The plant itself is has a compact habit with small mid to dark green leaves. Growing to around 60cm in height it makes a lovely pot plant. If you’re going to grow it inside make sure it gets plenty of light to really benefit from the beautiful fruit.
To sum upOne of the most attractive Chillies you can grow, different coloured fruit and a compact habit.
